Ingredients: For the salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 1/4 cup white miso paste

• 2 tablespoons sake
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey

For the vegetables:

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F)
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, sake, soy sauce, and honey to create the glaze.
3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the glaze generously over each fillet.
4. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
5. While the salmon is baking, steam the mixed vegetables until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Toss the steamed vegetables with sesame oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
7. Serve the miso-glazed salmon alongside the sesame vegetables.
